Mark and Cindy Hill of
Dearborn, Mo. were the first to claim their half of the multistate Powerball
prize. Recently, a man who wishes
to remain anonymous and his wife claimed their half of the $587.5 million Powerball
jackpot. After speaking with
financial advisers, the couple decided to collect $192 million before taxes now
to avoid potentially higher taxes in 2013.

The couple checked
their numbers over and over again because they couldn't believe that they won,
and they took the whole weekend to try and recover from the shock.

The man and his wife
want to take time to make a solid financial plan and set up a charitable entity
to aid causes that he and his wife support. The anonymous man enjoys his job and has no intention of
quitting soon, but lottery officials will not say what he does.
